CH 38

Aubrey fell in love with Yalin and originally planned to take the initiative to propose canceling the engagement to Xyler. However, his parents did not agree. Because although Xyler had no parents, he had a considerable amount of inheritance. Moreover, it was precisely because he had no parents that these inheritances would belong to their family after they got married. On the other hand, the Yalin family was not a match for Aubrey’s family in terms of wealth and power. No matter what they could offer, they could not provide for Audrey’s family.

Upon learning that Aubrey’s parents did not approve of his family and background, Yalin was furious but did not intend to give up on Audrey. He wanted to rely on his own abilities, not his birth, to win the recognition of Aubrey’s parents.

However, not only did Xyler have a background and wealth that made him jealous, but he also had a medical talent that was not inferior to his own. Every time Xyler’s academic ranking was slightly higher than his own, and he made progress faster and had more research results. This made Yalin very anxious, and he thought that if he could not crush Xyler with his real abilities, then he would have to make him disappear through other means.

Yalin told Aubrey that Xyler had stolen his research results and threatened him not to speak out, otherwise, he would tell his parents that they abused him. After hearing what Yalin said, Aubrey was very angry and immediately wanted to find Xyler to make him apologize to Yalin and return the research results to him. However, Yalin stopped him, saying that if he went to find Xyler like this, Xyler would definitely not admit it.

Therefore Aubrey came up with a plan. He deliberately approached Xyler, showed him extra attention, and then proposed to him. Xyler thought they already had an engagement, and Aubrey had been treating him well, so he agreed to his proposal. However, he did not know that when Aubrey was approaching him, he had stolen his research materials and results and given them to Yalin, and then caused an accident to destroy his records.

The reason why Aubrey really married Xyler was to get his inheritance. Not only did he publicly insult and force Xyler to marry him at the wedding, but he also held Yalin’s hand and told everyone that they were truly in love.

Xyler had no idea what was going on. His wedding was over before it even started. He wanted to ask Aubrey what was going on. If he and Yalin sincerely loved each other, why did he propose to him, and why did he say those inexplicable things at the wedding? But Aubrey avoided him, and there was trouble at school.

The professor informed him that the graduation project he submitted was almost identical to Yalin’s, and Yalin had already accused him of stealing his research results. The school asked both of them to provide evidence to prove who was telling the truth. Yalin submitted all the complete research reports and records of his research process. However, Xyler’s research records were all destroyed, and there was no evidence to submit.

Since both of them were outstanding students, the school did not want to draw conclusions easily because stealing someone else’s research results is a very serious matter. Once the matter was confirmed, they would have to be expelled, and no medical institution would give them a job opportunity.

After conducting multiple investigations and questioning their professors and classmates, the school finally concluded that Xyler was more likely to have stolen Yalin’s research results.

Yalin had made sufficient preparations, and all the evidence was biased toward him, while Xyler was completely caught off guard and didn’t know how to respond. The only way he could prove his innocence was to present the complete research results again.

During the time when Xyler was preparing for his wedding, Yalin had made more complete and perfect results based on his research. Therefore, based on various investigations, the school finally determined Xyler had stolen Yalin’s research results and expelled him.

This result was a huge blow to Xyler, but no one could help him clear his name. He could only leave the Imperial Star with sadness and despair and start a new life with a new identity on a border planet where no one knew him. He could not give up his love for medicine, so he opened a private medical clinic there and continued his research under limited conditions.

Due to his brilliant medical skills and responsible attitude, his private clinic quickly became famous locally, and was hired by the local resident-affiliated hospital, where he had better conditions to do research.

If Xyler and Aubrey divorce, Aubrey can get half of Xyler’s property, but if Xyler dies, Aubrey can get all of his property. After Yalin and Aubrey found out about Xyler’s whereabouts, they each had their own plans. Aubrey hoped that Xyler would die, while Yalin hoped that Xyler would die and he could get his latest research results.

Both of them got what they wanted. Under the actions of their people, Xyler died in a building destroyed by gunfire while trying to retrieve the data from his hard work two years earlier. His research materials had already been stolen.

Then, Lu Jingqian came to this world to live on behalf of the original host and to avenge and fulfill his wishes, making the guilty suffer punishment and experience suffering one hundred times worse than the original host.

While Lu Jingqian was sleeping soundly at night, he suddenly felt someone pressing on him. He tried to struggle but found that he couldn’t move his limbs, only his waist was slightly lifted.

He tightly grasped the sheets and bit his lip to avoid making a sound. After several intense waves of heat, he spoke intermittently in a regular shake, “You know, if you do this, I’ll get pregnant, right?”

Reynold kissed his cheek and said, “I’m almost forty and I should have a few of my own biological sons calling me father.”

“If I get pregnant with your child now, it won’t be your son, but your grandson, my Lord.” Sweat dripped from Lu Jingqian’s forehead, his expression confused, but his mind was still half awake.

Reynold placed his hand on his abdomen and said, “Before the child is fully formed, legally, you’ll be my husband. I won’t let my son call me grandpa.”

“Ah…,” Lu Jingqian’s body turned over and clung to Reynold’s shoulder, saying, “Aubrey is still eyeing my family’s property. I’m afraid we won’t be able to divorce for a while.”

“If I told him to divorce, will he dare not to?” Reynold said, “If he dares not to divorce, I will make him disappear from this world.”

“Firstly, no…., ah!” Lu Jingqian tilted his head and said with difficulty, “Not for now, let him disappear…”

“What?” Reynold said in Lu Jingqian’s ear, using a deep voice with a hint of gloom, “Is it because you can’t bear to leave him?”

“I want him to suffer more pain, suffer more torture, to receive unbearable pain and die.” Lu Jingqian clutched Reynold’s arm and said, “No, I can’t let him die a quick death, I can’t let him die an easy death!”

“Baby….” Reynold nibbled on his lips and said, “You’re so mean, you’re a perfect match for me.”

Lu Jingqian didn’t understand why this man could do whatever he wanted to him in his bed when he obviously could not move his legs. But he soon run out of energy to think and he never knew the answer to this question.

…………………………

The next day, apart from the lawyers of both parties, staff from the marriage registry also came to the General’s Mansion to handle their divorce.

Aubrey not only did not get all of Xyler’s property but also had to sign the divorce agreement giving up Xyler’s other half of the property. He was naturally unwilling. However, in front of Reynold, he could not show the desire to take over the other’s property, but he could not sign immediately.

Looking at Aubrey’s hesitant expression, Reynold sarcastically said, “You are truly no match for Giger and Brandon. You only use your mind to think about this. No wonder your ranking is lower than theirs in this practical assessment.”

“It’s not like that, Father. I just… just…” Aubrey wanted to explain, but he also knew how to explain his hesitation.

“What is it?” Reynold looked at him sharply and said, “Do you dare say that you don’t want to take over half of someone else’s property? That you didn’t want to gain nothing? You’re no different from a clown when you’re pretending in front of me. If you continue to disappoint me, I’m afraid I’ll have to consider whether to continue our father-son relationship. After all, Giger and Brandon are both better than you. I don’t have to make you my son.”

Aubrey gritted his teeth and quickly signed his name, then stood up seriously and promised Reynold, “Sorry, Father, I promise not to disappoint you again.”

Xyler’s family inheritance was, of course, incomparable to becoming the heir and inheriting Reynold’s title. Moreover, he was not only striving for himself but also for the support behind him and his parents’ family. They have already used a lot of resources and fought against two other forces to support him. If he cannot successfully become the heir of Reynold, they will lose everything, so he has no retreat.

Although Aubrey’s biological parents were also frustrated that they could not get Xyler family’s wealth, Aubrey was legally Reynold’s son, and there were many things they cannot intervene in. They also need to stay away from Aubrey publicly, as they do not want to upset Reynold.

As for Yalin, Aubrey’s parents were initially against them being together. They felt that even if Aubrey did not like Xyler, there were still many better choices. Moreover, Aubrey was now Reynold’s adopted son, so they believe he should find a more helpful partner.

However, Yalin’s outstanding performance over the past two years has gained their approval, as they know that an excellent genius military doctor can bring them assistance no less than a political marriage. If Yalin can achieve greater success, he will become a person valued by the Empire, which will be even more helpful to Aubrey.

After the marriage registration and entry were completed, the person in charge of the marriage left. Xyler and Aubrey’s marriage relationship has been officially dissolved, and both have regained their single status.

“Father, I am planning to marry Yalin. Please choose a suitable date for us,” Aubrey asked Reynold to choose the wedding date, to show his respect for Yalin and to prove his respect for Reynold to everyone.

“You can marry anytime you want to get married, choose the date yourselves,” Reynold said. “After you get married, move out and live on your own. No kid still relies on their parents after marriage. Marriage represents having your own independent family. Whoever gets married in the future, move out and live on your own.”

As soon as Aubrey heard that he would have to move out after getting married, he was stunned. He did want to marry Yalin as soon as possible, but he didn’t want to move out. Everyone knows what it means to live in the General’s Mansion. If he moves out, it will appear to others that he was not valued by Reynold, and the possibility of becoming his heir was very low.

Aubrey himself didn’t want to move out of the General’s Mansion. After telling his parents about this at night, they immediately opposed him marrying Yalin now and insisted he couldn’t move out of the mansion before he was confirmed as the heir.

After learning about this, Yalin also expressed the idea of not getting married for the time being. He wanted to make the General’s Mansion his home, and he wanted to marry Aubrey as soon as possible for this reason. But if he had to move out of the mansion after getting married, he would rather postpone the wedding with Aubrey.

Although he was still somewhat unwilling, Yalin believed that he could get Reynold’s approval. Even if he married Aubrey, he could still stay in the mansion after proving his abilities to Reynold.

In fact, after seeing Reynold in person, Yalin began to have another idea. Reynold’s appearance, status, and overall strength were too irresistible and he couldn’t help but be obsessed with him. He believed that he still had a chance to attract Reynold, so he wasn’t in a hurry to marry Aubrey. He thought that if he could successfully heal Reynold’s leg, he might have a better chance of attracting him.
